			Remember back to a time when your partner's partner was having a bad game.  It happens to all of us.  Try to be patient and don't talk down.  I had 4 8th grade games last Thursday.  It was my partner's first time.  I helped when I could, cussed under my breath when couldn't, and encouraged as much as possible.  I left the court a little hump shouldered but hopefully my partner will grow into a good official.
